Westward 53KA28 Adjustable Wrench
The Westward 53KA28 is a one-piece adjustable wrench forged from alloy steel with a black phosphate finish. It provides a jaw capacity of 2 1/2 inches and an overall length of 24 1/16 inches. A measuring scale is marked on the head for quick reference. This tool suits mechanics and maintenance technicians who need a single wrench for a wide range of fastener sizes.
Hand Tool Thermals Noise Power
As a non-powered hand tool, the wrench produces no heat, noise or electrical draw during use. The black phosphate coating resists corrosion in workshop environments. There are no moving parts beyond the adjustable jaw mechanism, so operation remains silent and requires no external energy source.
Measuring Scale Practical Benefit
The integrated measuring scale lets the user verify jaw opening or fastener size without reaching for a separate rule. This reduces tool changes on the job and speeds up repetitive adjustments. The wrench carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. No insulated or non-sparking ratings apply.

Questions about this item
How do I set the jaw to 2 1/2 in without stripping the worm gear?
Open the knurl until the scale reads 2 1/2 in, then tighten the movable jaw against the workpiece before applying torque; forcing the gear under load rounds the teeth.
Will the black phosphate coating wear off and need re-treatment?
The phosphate finish is a surface conversion layer; it will gradually thin with heavy use but does not require re-coating — light oil after cleaning slows further loss.
At what point does the 24 1/16 in handle flex instead of turning the fastener?
Under sustained high torque the one-piece alloy steel handle will begin to deflect noticeably before the jaw slips, signalling the practical force limit of the wrench.
